Hi from WA

Hi everyone,

My cousin got me into this when he gave me a bottle of his home brew Whiskey. Ever since then I have been hooked. Purchased a second hand SS T500 and haven't looked back till now. I now run 3 30lt fermenters and have built up a lot of stock, with out a doubt my best product so far has been coffee tequila liquoer. I have used alot of the HBS essecnces and will post up some thoughts in the flavour thread.
Enter AD and HD in search of a better tasting bourbon, I currently have 30lts of netural oaking, been 2 months but since doing some keyboard time I now believe I should give UJSM a go. Thinking I will detune the T500 for my first batch but have already been looking at a Pot still head for the boiler. I am looking forward to reading up on bubblers and liebig.

I am totally hooked on distilling and now even scare my cousin with the time I spend on this hobby.

Thanks Stubbydrainer but I don't have the room where I am to attempt a build, sooooo many great examples here.

Mcstill, :laughing-rolling: yes SOR, thought it was on my profile. Love the look of your parrots, really need one of those.

Welcome to the forum the Goldie, sorry for the oversight not seeing your profile....... long days looking down a trench has narrowed my vision :))

G'day Goldie........welcome to the forum. These photos might help you out. http://aussiedistiller.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=369
You dont really need much time or space to knock one of these up. Just a few basic tools and away you go. If you were to go down a similar path your going to need to build or buy some sort of power controler as well for doing spirit runs.

Welcome Goldie
have fun and it'd be great if/when you could add to the flavour thread as LOTS of forum folk will be interested. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome Goldie.
I have a McStill pot on my T500 boiler, best thing I ever did :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Detuning the T500 isnt worth the hassle.

Will have to check out the how to build threads and maybe start with a parrot first. Thanks
